I know there has been much suspense over my decision
... I just bought the game directly from the site. But I think bluenoser is completely correct, I am still supporting OOTP even if i would've bought from Amazon, there are some people who would not buy the game if they wouldn't have gotten an Amazon giftcard or would love to save a few tax dollars. Im sure OOTP is grateful with any purchase they receive, Amazon or not.
